TGWTG The Spoony One / Spoony / Noah Antwiler and Rachel Baker / @RaeAngel07 - The touching romance between a washed-up videogame reviewer throwing a decade-long pity party and his delusional Canuck stalker. #weaknotsick #donttellmehowtosulk

Noah does have charisma and charm, as a presenter, so he was always trying to inflate his nerd stories based on that alone. Also his ego is in the way, he wont say he is sorry or take responsibility, unless he is backed up against the wall or if he is going for the approach where he wants people to see him as humble and flawed.

I think in reality he was more of a person who wanted to play D&D, then the guy who actually played a lot of D&D. Hell, ProJared has more D&D cred, more then Spoony when combining his real life D&D sessions + his D&D fantasy ones.

I believe he did play, some, before getting the boot from his groups like I mentioned a a couple pages ago in this thread. Every experience he made a counter monkey video on was basically him being a dickhead at the table as a DM or player. And the rest of the counter monkey videos were him just rambling about various rule and adventure books he likely never actually played with. I still think spoony is "that guy" that people who have played regularly over the years have encountered, are glad when they're gone, or have to ask them to leave and he just doesn't realize it. Kinda like how someone who has never encountered a smelly bastard is probably "that guy"(such as Smash Bros players at tournaments failing to realize they stink).

I view him as an anti-comic. A lot of comedians go that route after bombing one too many times.

When you spit in everybody's eye to make yourself feel big, you'll be right some of the time.

No one cared who Trump was, until he clown-stomped those empty suits at the debates.

I think Spoony bounced around a few gaming groups in high school (when he worked at the game store) and to a lesser extent college and never really returned to the hobby after that except for his handful of abortive games with CA friends. All of his stories about playing are clustered around that time period and basically come to a dead halt after college except for a stray LJ post in 2008.

Exactly, and for someone being so into it and having an audience willing to play with him, as well as the various other CA people it somehow never happened or never worked. The central common thing with all of that failing being him.

He's probably one of those folks that feels better joining a group if he knows someone in it.

That doesn't explain why he's wrecking his groups left and right, but maybe that's why he hasn't joined a new one since.

Being more comfortable with a group where you already know someone isn't unusual at all. As far as why he was wrecking his groups, it's because he's a self absorbed asshole and always was. If you've played enough TTRPGs, at some point you'll meet "that guy". Maybe they stink at the table, maybe they cheat at D&D(yeah, that's actually a thing), maybe they're just an asshole, but there's always the possibility of one being around if you join a group with people you don't know or have someone new join an existing group. At this point(well, for the past what, 5-6 years now?) it wouldn't even be possible for him to join a group without someone asking him about his next video or bringing up something about his production crap. Like how is he going to join a game as a nobody rando without baggage? And that's disregarding that prior to the stupid covid crap, it's not like he never left the house anyway but even if he did it online... his voice is too obvious.

Well I doubt it seemed like the CA people really wanted to play with him much. Have you ever seen that clip of him butting into that LordKat game to give someone shit? He just shows up to berate someone for doing something that hijacked the plot, somewhat. And they fucking clapped back at him for it. They literally told him "we were having fun, the DM didn't seem to mind, you're out of fucking line barging in like this".

Imagine being a fly on the wall in the Antwiler house. I honestly think after a few weeks of Noah laying in bed and drinking all day doing nothing and then keeping them up all night and eating their food, Mr. Antwiler will just let loose and holler the very bitter truth at Noah.

And Noah will... do absolutely nothing to fix things.

It's still funny that he's gonna get a reality check in person and not on twitter. "Noah. You've been in bed drinking all fucking day. There's garbage piling up by your door. Theres dishes in the sink. Did you look for a job today, or did you sit on your ass?" "Dad, with my heart syncope I ca-" "I am SO FUCKING PISSED, NOAH! All you do is drink, play with the computer, and look for more things that are wrong with you. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES ANYMORE, NOAH! YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!"

Picture Spoony playing around in Ultima and Dad walks in and drops a pile of history books on his desk with a deafening thud. "Uhhhh what's going on here, Dad?" "If you're not gonna look for a job, you're gonna read these instead of the dragon shit that probably landed you here." "Well, I can assure you I've read these if you'll take a look at my highschool dip-" "Do not be FUCKING CUTE WITH ME, NOAH! Maybe you need a refresher. I want you to read how people had to live all throughout history and then tell me how miserable and unfair your life is when you got to sit on on your ass for TEN FUCKING YEARS, NOAH! You're 40 years old, Noah. You haven't worked a real job in decades. Do you see what's wrong with this picture?" "I worked as a content creator for years and established myself. I can put that on my resu-" "RESUMÉ!? You think you're getting that type of job after a decade of acting like a complete FUCKING FOOL on the internet!? Noah. You need take whatever you can get, or you need to leave."
